Installing memory-modules
5.
Slide the hot-swap expansion option down into the guides on the slot at the rear
of the optional hard disk drive cage, and secure it to the server with the blue slide
latch located on top of the optional hard disk drive cage.
6.
See the documentation that comes with the option to complete the installation of
the option.
7.
Install additional internal hot-swap hard disk drives in the optional hard disk
drive cage (see "Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive" on page 48), and connect
the drives to the optional hot-swap backplane. You can connect a maximum of
three hot-swap hard disk drives to the optional hot-swap backplane.
Note: If you connected these optional hot-swap hard disk drives to the optional
hot-swap backplane, then the optional hot-swap backplane sets the SCSI
IDs for the optional hot-swap backplane and the hot-swap hard disk
drives. See "Setting SCSI IDs" on page 68 for additional information.
8.
If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
"Installing the server top cover and bezel" on page 62.
Adding memory to your server is an easy way to make programs run faster. You can
increase the amount of memory in your server by installing memory-module options.
You must install a bank of four matched dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs).
Notes:
1.
The DIMM options available for your server are 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and
1GB. Your server supports a minimum of 512MB and a maximum of 16GB of
system memory.
2.
When 4 GB of memory is installed in the server, the amount of usable memory
will be reduced depending on the system configuration. A certain amount of
memory must be reserved below 4 GB for system resources. The usable memory
is reduced again when 16 GB of memory is installed. The BIOS will display only
the amount of memory that is available to the network operating system.
3.
Your server comes with a minimum of 512 MB of memory installed in bank 1.
When you install additional DIMMs, be sure to follow the DIMM installation
order in Table 4 on page 52.
4.
All the DIMMs installed in a bank must be the same size, speed, type, and
technology. You can mix compatible DIMMs from various manufacturers.
5.
All the banks do not have to contain DIMMs of the same size, speed, type, and
technology. You can mix compatible DIMMs from various manufacturers.
6.
The memory board contains 16 DIMM connectors and supports 4-way memory
interleaving.
